“The high frequency of bergamot works well in the auric field… It is also an amplifier of light energy, energizing and magnifying, opening the heart to cosmic joy. Bergamot lightens the shadows of the mind, bringing illumination and laughter.”  Valerie Ann Worwood, Aromatherapy for the Soul
“The essential oil of bergamot is a well-kept culinary secret. It will give any cheese or angel food cake that something special… In addition, this oil gives Earl Grey tea its exquisite aroma. You can make your own exotic tea by adding [a drop] of bergamot oil to ordinary black tea.”  Susanne Fischer-Rizzi, Complete Aromatherapy Handbook
“… First mentioned in the seventeenth-century Perfumeur Francois, it was named after the town of Bergamo, Italy, where the oil was first distilled… Bergamot scents many colognes and flavors Earl Grey tea and some candies. Don’t confuse this citrus with the common herb garden bee balm (Monarda didyma) also called bergamot.” Kathi Keville and Mindy Green, Aromatherapy: A Complete Guide to the Art
